Just to let you guys know that I didn't set the targets. #1 and #3 were ridiculous. If this event is held there next year things will be different. Either way, great shooting guys and thanks for your efforts.

But at least you could see it. Shouldn't be a problem with 34" barrels.

Correct Daryl, you could see that one at 70 yards just as it cleared the tree tops

I hit that one a time or two by shooting well under it catching it falling . Actually surprised me that I hit it LOL’s !

It is my sincere hope that the five stand at Backwoods will be more shooter friendly

Even though further away it was more friendly than 1 or 3 IMO. I had better luck with it on the way up although about everyone else shot it or shot at it falling.

I haven't scampered anywhere since I was 14. Those traps were not adjustable to throw a curl, just up and down. This ain't Rock Mountain you know.

Craig's comment about the difficulty of the Backwoods 5 stand reminded me of an important piece of side by side history. The Backwoods contribution to the Southern Side by Side 5 stand brought 32 inch full choke double guns back into shotgun games after years of being stuck in closets.
